Here's How A Stronger Performance In North America Can Impact Ford Motors

The Dearborn automaker is trying to deal with a shifting automotive industry that is feeling pressured to show progress, especially in China and Europe, on expanding its electric vehicle offerings.

In North America, Ford is moving away from less profitable lines of passenger cars and doubling down on popular trucks, vans and SUVs, said James D. Farley, the company's president of global markets.

That's a significantly higher level of investment than previously disclosed and includes costs associated with developing dedicated electric vehicle architectures. Or, looked at another way, a total of 40 models with either hybrid, plug-in hybrid, or fully electric power trains- up from the 15 announced a few weeks ago. It also would make the USA less competitive than the world's other manufacturing centers, he said.

"We want to make a statement about the company that we're electrifying our iconic vehicles", Farley says. It plans to bring out 24 hybrids and 16 electric vehicles by 2022. And European and Japanese companies also use Detroit as a showcase for their new models. Hitting on these points is the idea of reducing the number of orderable combinations for products like Escape and EcoSport from thousands to one or two dozen, which will achieve the aims of cutting manufacturing costs and upping the quality of each vehicle.

Ford is increasing its electric vehicle efforts to help mitigate climate change.
